Event Volunteers

Toronto Operetta Theatre has always relied on the generous help from our volunteers. Our fundraising events are extremely important in helping us maintain our budget throughout the year. The events are fun and a great way to meet people and provide much needed help to the Theatre.

TOT fundraising and patron appreciation events are ongoing throughout the year:

- Garden parties in summer
- Fundraising concert with a "meet the performers" reception in fall
- Reception for donors and volunteers in the winter
